three or four, Ms. Prentice performed on Broadway in "Annie Get Your
Gun," and toured with Guy Lombardo and his band. She also acted in
television commercials and appeared in Bonanza. In 1968 she became the first

for two years. Then she met and married the love of her life, the late Spelman
Prentice, a grandson of John D. Rockefeller. She is survived by five
step-children, sixteen step- grandchildren, and twenty two great-grandchildren.
She was a private, perceptive, loyal, feisty, and loving woman with a great
deal of presence. She will be missed. A memorial service will be held at the

November 21st at 11am. Donations can be made in in her memory to The
